[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Shinan-gun Welfare Foundation (Chairman Park Gyun-bo) announced on the 16th that it delivered 3,500 kg of love-filled new rice tteokguk rice cakes to 397 senior centers in 14 towns and townships of Shinan-gun in celebration of the Lunar New Year holiday.

The new rice tteokguk rice cakes were box-packed and distributed differentially according to the number of users at each senior center with the cooperation of the welfare administration departments of the towns and townships.

From the 9th to the 13th, the Welfare Foundation directly visited senior centers starting with Anjwa, Palgeum, Amtae, and Jaeun townships to deliver the new rice tteokguk rice cakes, exchanged well-wishing words for health, and took the opportunity to promote the foundation’s support projects for low-income families (living expenses, medical, housing support) and fire condolence fund support projects.

Additionally, the visits to the senior centers were accompanied by the Shinan-gun Office of Resident Welfare’s senior center affairs staff, who thoroughly inspected every corner of the centers and listened to the difficulties of the elderly, practicing outreach administration that received enthusiastic responses from the seniors.

Chairman Park Gyun-bo of the Welfare Foundation said, “Following last year, we will actively establish a cooperative system with the towns and townships this year as well, take the lead in discovering those in welfare blind spots, and do our best to resolve the difficulties of each resident.”
